In an era virtually obsessed with degree programs that lead toward financial marketability, it is remarkable that they not only allowed but insisted that I follow a path that included music. My family, near and far, has provided invaluable support as I have worked toward the completion of this document. My brother Shawn, sisters-in-law Ana, Michelle, Natalie, and Sharon, and brother-in-law Frank have all given encouragement, both through their words and through their incredibly successful lives. My aunts and uncles, in particular Patricia, Maureen, and Joe Burns and Robert Dennis, showed constant interest in my studies and have always contributed to the intellectually stimulating environment that defines our family gatherings.

In the early days of counterpoint, ere rhythm was thought of, the singers were obliged to " keep time " in order that the various parts might fit each other properly. When to "keeping time" is added an artistic accentuation and intelligent phrasing, rhythm results. Musicians give rhythmical life to what they perform, either in- stinctively, or through the training received from those who have the rhythmical instinct.

    H-France Review Volume 11 (2011) Page 1 H-France Review Vol. 11 (November 2011), No. 255 Vincent d’Indy, Cours de composition musicale, Volume 1. Translated from French, edited, and with an introduction by Gail Hilson Woldu. Comparative analysis by Merle Montgomery. Norman, OK: University of Oklahoma Press, 2010. xviii + 379 pp. Musical examples, figures, notes, and index. $50.00 U.S. (cl). ISBN 978-08061-4134-3. Review by Andrew Deruchie, University of Otago, New Zealand. An aesthetic manifesto, a comprehensive history of Western art music, a treatise on music theory, a lucid account of music’s role in society, and, of course, a composition manual all rolled into one, Vincent d’Indy’s Cours de composition musicale was and remains a unique document. Based upon the composition lectures d’Indy gave at the Schola cantorum in the late 1890s, its three “books”--the second split into two volumes, making for four tomes in all--offer a rich trove of source material for anyone researching, or simply wanting to learn more about, these and other facets of French musical culture in d’Indy’s day.[1] And now, for the first time, it is available in English, thanks to Gail Hilson Woldu’s recent translation. Sort of, at least: the present volume brings to fruition an initiative which began two-thirds of a century ago by Merle Montgomery, who translated some of d’Indy’s text for her 1946 doctoral dissertation. Oxford University Press accepted the translation, but Durand, d’Indy’s French editor, scuttled its publication by demanding a steep royalty, leaving it to languish in relatively inaccessible dissertation form.
